Technology Compliance Training That Scales With Every Hire

Technology companies need training based on where employees work, the data they handle, and the frameworks they follow. Many states require harassment prevention training, and security frameworks such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001 expect regular security awareness training. Privacy laws can add requirements too, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act regulations, which require training for staff who handle consumer privacy requests.

SOC 2 doesn't prescribe a specific course, but its criteria call for communicating security responsibilities to employees, and auditors commonly look for evidence of security awareness training. Most companies meet this with training at hire and at least annually, supported by completion records. Phishing simulations can provide additional evidence of an active program.

Yes, and in some cases it's now required. The EU AI Act requires companies that provide or deploy AI systems to take measures to ensure their staff have sufficient AI literacy. Even where it isn't required, training helps employees avoid sharing confidential data with AI tools and understand company policies on acceptable use.

Fast-growing companies automate onboarding training by connecting their training platform to an HRIS so new hires are enrolled automatically. Rules assign courses by role and location, and reminders go out through email or chat tools like Slack. This keeps training on track even during rapid hiring.

EasyLlama gives tech companies cybersecurity, data privacy, and harassment prevention courses alongside customizable phishing simulations, all in one SOC 2-compliant platform. HRIS integrations enroll new hires automatically, and automated workflows send reminders by email or Slack. Customizable dashboards keep audit-ready records, and the Risk Analysis Report shows how phishing risk changes over time.
